Wen Wan and Xia Yao were talking about something when they heard sonorous footsteps. Wen Wan glanced at Xia Yao, and Xia Yao went out.
Bai Shinian saw Xia Yao's look on his face, well, it was a little weird. When he entered the room, he saw Wen Wan holding a piece of paper full of words and reading it. He asked with a half-smile, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
Wenwan handed the thing in her hand to Bai Shinian. Bai Shinian took it and thought about it for a long time, but still didn't understand what it was. But looking at the anger on Wen Wan's face, and then thinking about Xia Yao's expression when he passed by: "Daughter-in-law, what is this?" A bunch of incomprehensible symbols, and a lot of numbers (according to Arabic numerals, the data is Capitalize the amount).
Wen Wan taught the people below to use modern accounting methods, so now shopping malls have implemented Arabic numerals, both upper and lower case. Reports are naturally the same. Things that are common to shopping malls are like heavenly scriptures to Bai Shinian.
Wen Wan told him that this was the income and expenditure of the General's Mansion for two and a half months. What is listed here is the comparison between the normal price of goods and the purchase price in the general's mansion. The last line in capital letters is an estimate of the approximate price difference.
Bai Shinian's face turned dark immediately.
Wen Wan wanted to know what Bai Shinian was thinking, "The current General Mansion, Zhuangzi, and your annual salary were all obtained by you with your blood. You have blatantly swallowed your name like this. What are you going to do with it?"
Bai Shinian¡¯s eyes darkened and he remained silent. The people of the Bai family are really unbearable. He shouldn't have expected it at all. Although he was also very angry that the Bai family made him lose face. But after all, he is a member of the Bai family. If he goes too far, it will harm his reputation. It¡¯s also not good for Wenwan.
Wen Wan shook her head and looked at the man soaked in blood in front of her. I know he must have felt bad. Smiling and pouring a cup of tea to him, "Since the money is greedy, there is no need to pursue it back. However, you must let them know that you understand the truth and will not pursue it. This time, there will be no next time." Wen Wan said He knew that Bai Shinian would never come back after the money. Otherwise, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Make a fuss. Bai Shinian is definitely shameless. However, Wen Wan thought it would be good to use the money to buy out the trouble.
Bai Shinian¡¯s eyes are very complicated. He turned to look at Wen Wan and stopped talking.
Wen Wan¡¯s look at Bai Shinian made her very uncomfortable. The habit she had developed over the years almost made her blurt out to vent her anger. Fortunately, Wen Wan has always been able to control her emotions and swallowed back the words she was about to spit out. Take a deep breath. Trying to think of Bai Shinian's tolerance and kindness to her. Finally suppressed this discomfort. He slowed down his expression before speaking: "I'm not a stingy person. But I won't judge these people, Bai Shinian. You should know it yourself. I just hope you don't forget an ancient saying."
Bai Shinian asked in a low voice: "What ancient saying?"
Wen Wan saw Bai Shinian's expression. He said softly, "Sheng Mi's grace, fight rice's hatred. These people took advantage of your marriage to line their own pockets. They didn't care that you had no money to get married and took out a loan. Bai Shinian, if they didn't have you, they could still live a life without worries about food and clothing. . Can they still work in the yamen? Without you, they have become common people who can be bullied. This is how they repay the good news you brought them. I am not stingy, I am just angry for their behavior. Sorry for you too."
Bai Shinian held Wen Wan's hand, which was as white as jade. But it was very cool: "Daughter-in-law, their surname is Bai after all."
Wenwan hesitated. Suddenly asked: "Do you think Ping Xiangxi and I were unfaithful and unfilial by breaking away from the father-daughter relationship?" Bai Shinian was so considerate of the brotherly relationship. Does that mean she has broken away from Ping Xiangxi, thinks she is cold-blooded, and is disdainful of her behavior?
Bai Shinian shook his head: "No. Wife, you have done your best to be kind and righteous." It was clearly written in Wen Wan's self-report. It is enough for such a father to be gentle and allow him to live a prosperous and stable old age. If it were him, well, it doesn't seem to be as easy as saying a word.
Seeing Bai Shinian say no without thinking, Wen Wan nodded slightly in her heart: "Bai Shinian, if Ping Xiangxi could have a father-daughter relationship with me, I wouldn't have gone that far. Likewise, your so-called brothers , if I have any friendship with you, it is impossible for me to say this. You have been bleeding and injured outside these years, and you have sacrificed your life to revitalize the family. What else do they do besides sucking your blood? Bai Shinian, I am not a stingy person. If they are worth helping, I will definitely help. I have helped so many people, but I don¡¯t care about helping more people. Bai Shinian, you are mine. Husband, I won¡¯t allow them to bully you like this. Bai Shinian, listen, I won¡¯t allow it.¡±
Bai Shinian¡¯s heavy heart was relieved after hearing Wen Wan¡¯s last words. He shouted in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law." He knew that Wen Wan was not a stingy person. gentleThere are more than ten places under the Charity Hall in the capital, supporting orphans and setting up training institutions for women. It provides a place for homeless children and women who have been kicked out or abandoned, and a women's medical school is also established (the results of this have not been released yet). During the rebellion that year, royal charity also helped countless people. These all require large sums of money to support. If Wen Wan is really a stingy person, it is impossible to spend money to do good things.
He felt very tired and sad just now. He has been working hard to fulfill his father's last wish. Also always a striver. But what are they doing. The fact that Lao Wu cuckolded him back then was not obvious in appearance. But how many people did he lose? He didn't know how many people were laughing at him behind his back. But I still have to pretend to be indifferent on the surface. Now, I just ask them to help, but they are so blatantly greedy. Bai Shinian was very chilled.
Wen Wan felt the bitterness in Bai Shinian's eyes. He reached out and stroked his frowned eyebrows: "They are not the same mother as you, we are separated by a layer of belly! There is no need to feel sad for them. It's not worth it."
After hearing this, Bai Shinian looked at Wen Wan and wondered what Wen Wan meant.
Wen Wan smiled and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the eldest brother and sister-in-law. They also didn't know about it. I didn't have any money to get married tomorrow, and I didn't touch a penny from you. Ding is Ding's egg, so I'm very emotional. , I am a brother after all. I feel sorry for you." After saying that, he sighed deliberately: "I also want to have a brother or sister, but it's a pity that I don't even have anyone to help me." It said that it relieved Bai Shinian's heart. Qinghe had been in charge of the Hou Mansion before. I can still manage a wedding. Even if he couldn't handle it, Qinghe wouldn't know if he was so blatantly greedy. As long as Bai Shinian is reminded tactfully, it won't be so serious. But Qinghe chose to turn a blind eye. Bai Shihua and Qinghe also have selfish motives. Wen Wan is too lazy to care. Moreover, Wen Wan knew that Bai Shihua was Bai Shinian's brother, and Bai Shihua was completely different in terms of feelings and blood.
After hearing this, Bai Shinian's face softened a lot: "When I was a child, I lived in the temple half the time. He would have people bring me things every month. When my mother passed away that year, she held my brother's hand. I asked him to take good care of me. When I returned to the house, he took good care of me. But after he got married, he gradually became distant. "Bai Shihua was the eldest son in the house, and Bai Shinian was cared for by the old lady. The eldest brother of the Crown Prince, his life was pretty good in the Hou Mansion (minus the Katsura aspect).
Wen Wan nodded: "After all, they are brothers, broken bones and connected tendons. Others, after all, are separated by a layer of belly. The eldest brother and sister-in-law are living a happy life. We will help them more in the future. Let their lives gradually get better. . Others have evil intentions and it¡¯s better to manage their finances less.¡±
Bai Shinian felt even more comfortable after hearing this. Touching Wen Wan's forehead: "I know. So I am going to let Ming Yan follow me this time and work as a scribe by my side. Find a future for him."
Wen Wan raised her head and said with a smile: "That can't happen. I just told my sister-in-law that some vacancies have been released in the six departments. The exam will start in March next year. I will ask Mingji to prepare for the exam in the spring of next year. If you pass the exam, Well, I can get a good position. It¡¯s no better than following you to the border to eat sand.¡±
Bai Shinian was stunned, then breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if Ming Jie also has martial arts, then his future will definitely be good. But a young man with no strength will only be a burden by his side. If according to what Wen Wan said, he would pass the assessment in March next year and then get a position. This position would be of high rank. As long as there are people around you to teach you well. After hard work in the Ming Dynasty, the future is definitely not bad. He doesn't have to worry about the future of Dafang being unhappy. As for the others, they are not siblings from the same mother, and they don¡¯t have much affection.
Bai Shinian was moved in his heart. After a while, he whispered: "Daughter-in-law, thank you." In the capital, Wenwan's distinction between public and private affairs is well-known. Now, it was because of him that he made an exception.
Wen Wan smiled and said: "I am your daughter-in-law. If I don't share the burden for you, why do you expect others? Mingji is the eldest son, and you are in danger when you go back this time. If Mingji is with you, it will be a burden. What if? Why should you feel guilty for the rest of your life? If you feel bad, I must feel bad too. So, don¡¯t be moved.¡±
Bai Shinian kissed Wen Wan on the forehead: "I'm not moved. I'm grateful. Thank God for allowing me to marry such a good wife." In fact, Wen Wan said this, which made him feel more comfortable. Wenwan means that husband and wife are one body. There was nothing more pleasing to him than that.
Wen Wan said cheerfully: "Then you have to cherish your blessings, you know."
Bai Shinian has heard Wen Wan say this many times. He said in a deep voice: "Yes, I will cherish the blessing." With thisIf he still doesn't cherish his wife, he will really die alone.
